%0 Journal Article %T A new way of dissemination in Anagallis arvensis L. (Primulaceae) %A Jacek Drobnik %A Barbara Bacler %J Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae %D 2007 %I Polish Botanical Society %R 10.5586/asbp.2007.028 %X Anagallis arvensis L. fruits are globose pyxides. They contain a unique globose columella with 20-30 seeds on its surface. In ripe, open fruits the ball-shaped columella detaches easily and becomes a unique diaspore, which can roll on the ground. This way of dissemination has not been described so far neither in Anagallis nor in other Primulaceae. %K Anagallis arvensis %K carpology %K dissemination biology %K weeds %U http://pbsociety.org.pl/journals/index.php/asbp/article/view/498
